Chapter 16: Yesterday's Cause and Today's Effect
Xiao Ling didn't know how she came out of the Mu family at all, her forbearance and regression in exchange for the Song family's mother and son were treated like this, no wonder Mrs. Song was merciful yesterday and gave a sum of money to let her go shopping with Yan'er.
Recalling the scene that happened a few days ago, her whole person seemed to have fallen into a boundless cold pool, her hands and feet were stiff, and her body was weak.
A few days ago.
Because of the happy event that the Song family could take the boat of the Wen family, several people with their own thoughts twisted into a rope.
"The things on the dowry list are all here, I just counted them again, and now there are still five thousand oceans and a pearl necklace."
When the family was separated, none of the things they moved out of the warehouse were transported from Beiping to the magic capital. At that time, she still had a copy of the list in her hand, since she entered the Song family, Mu Yue's previous things were kept by Mrs. Song.
As for whether the pearl necklace was in the hands of Mrs. Song or was given away, these are all matters that she doesn't care.
"Pearl necklace?"
Old Lady Song's eyes turned to Xiao Ling's neck, Song Shaojie and Song Yan both looked over, and Xiao Ling immediately covered her necklace.
This is not Mu Yue's thing, when Song Yan was born in childbirth, Song Shaojie gave herself a gift, she has been frugal for so many years, in the eyes of outsiders and her sisters, she is a young grandmother of the Song family who flies on the branch to be a phoenix, and the scenery is infinite. The sourness is also only clear to her, because of her background, Mrs. Song has always looked at herself unpleasantly, she has no children for many years, and only Song Yan has a daughter, so she can't hold her head up in the Song family.
She has always grovelled to Mrs. Song, always respectful and respectful, and did not dare to have any resistance.
"This necklace was given to me by Shaojie, a gift to celebrate Yan'er's birth."
Mrs. Song kept her mouth shut, she knew her son better than anyone else, the inferior nature of men, always eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. Mu Yue is from everyone, and she can take everything in appearance and knowledge, but her husband and wife life is a little less interesting.
The son will think differently, go out to find a woman like Xiao Ling to raise him, and give birth to a daughter.
Song Shaojie was a little embarrassed for a while, when Xiao Ling saw Mu Yue wearing a string of pearl necklaces, she had been messing with herself for many days. I had to have an identical one, so I thought it was an ordinary necklace and casually agreed.
Later, I asked Mu Yue, and I learned that the pearl necklace was brought back from England, and it was still a gift from a royal nobleman to Mu Feng. There are two in total, one for Mu Feng's wife Ouyang Xue, and one for Mu Yue.
Seeing that Mu Yue didn't like it again after a while, he casually made up a reason and took it out of her hand and gave it to Xiao Ling, who had just given birth.
"The necklace around your neck is Mu Yue's. You take it down first, and when you go shopping with Yan'er another day, you can pick a good-looking one. ”
Song Shaojie stood up a little impatiently, hugged Xiao Ling tightly in his arms, supported her waist with both hands, and gently stroked from time to time. Since coming to the Demon Capital, Xiao Linghe has seen such a gentle and considerate Song Shaojie, every day because of the Song family's noisy affairs, she is also very frightened, and she has doubted more than once that the Demon Capital is not wrong.
There were tears on his face, but in his eyes there was infinite affection and love for the man, and the two kissed as if no one was around.
"I don't care about the affairs of the two of you, the old woman, but no one can stand in the way of Yan'er."
"Mother, you misunderstood, it's just a necklace, I'll take it off now."
said that Xiao Ling shyly got out of Song Shaojie's arms and took off the pearl necklace from her neck.
Song Ran took advantage of dinner to pull her mother out of the living room, and the mother and daughter quickly went to the kitchen.
"Yan'er, what's wrong, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Ling looked a little flustered when she saw her daughter, her palms were sweaty, slightly nervous, and very worried.
"Mom, I'm fine, don't let grandma and dad know about your private money."
"Don't worry, no one will know about the money, you can just prepare for school with peace of mind, and your father and I will do the rest."
No matter what, it won't let our mother and daughter take out the money, don't forget that your grandmother shared a lot of good things when she split the family. When I was helping her carry something that day, I secretly glanced at it, and there were several pieces of gold! ”
When she saw that there was a string of pearl necklaces missing from the dowry list, Xiao Ling already knew that the necklace around her neck was Mu Yue's. With the old lady's character and Song Shaojie's current situation, she will definitely force herself to take it out, and instead of breaking the net, everyone will make it look bad. It's better for her to take the initiative to take it out and win Song Shaojie's short-term guilt.
After all, she just lost a pearl necklace that didn't belong to her, and when Yan'er married into the Wen family, she would have ten or hundreds of pearl necklaces.
"Mother, there were 10,000 yuan on Mu Yue's wedding list back then, and now there are still 5,000 oceans missing."
The house I live in now, the newly purchased car, and the furniture, a series of things, were all bought with money after coming to the magic capital. Now he has sold several houses in Beiping at the time of the separation, as well as some fields and antiques at home, barely enough to scrape together 5,000 oceans.
Back then, the Mu family married 10,000 oceans, which made the Song family raise their eyebrows in Beiping, which was envied by many families, and the 5,000 oceans that were used up were shared by the Song family.
"Xiao Ling, have you asked?"
Mrs. Song naturally knew what her son meant, she had lost a bracelet when she went to Mu's house a few days ago, she came to the demon capital to enjoy happiness, not to be affected.
"Xiao Ling's food and clothing are all from our family, and the monthly money you send to each room is the same every month, and the family's daily expenses have long been gone."
Song Shaojie thought about it for a while, after Xiao Ling married into the Song family, she served herself wholeheartedly, and she never went out to work, so she had no income at all.
"Son, think about what Xiao Ling's identity was before I was with you, that was a famous figure in Beiping, which young master didn't spend a lot of money for her, did you spend less money on the things you gave out back then?"
After Xiao Ling became pregnant, she sent someone to check Xiao Ling's details, and there was no one in the family except for a brother who was a farmer. And she has been in Beiping for more than five years, which of those old men and nobles is not generous, Xiao Ling has her back to Furong Pavilion, even if the money is taken away by Furong Pavilion, won't she leave some for herself?
Song Shaojie suddenly remembered that because Xiao Ling was pregnant with her own child, the money for redemption was also paid by herself.
"Mother, it's just that Xiao Ling doesn't want to, what else can we do?"
"Why don't you want to, isn't Yan'er her daughter, you are not her husband, shouldn't she sacrifice something for the future of the two of you."
Song Shaojie approached Mrs. Song, and the two of them whispered, nodding to each other, their eyes full of essence.
